Yesterday was the official ending of my Secondary school life in St. Margaret’s.
It is everyone’s second departure from our educational institution.
A school which not only educates us in terms of morale and studies but also help us foster strong bonds and foster friendship with our schoolmates and classmates through class and CCAs.
Everyone, I meant my classmates, chose a path that is longer than any other students, a 5 years path. Maybe, it was a good choice maybe it wasn’t. However, if they didn’t choose the 5 years path, I guess we won’t even be classmates. Throughout these 5 years, everyone did have to overcome never-ending obstacles, never-ending homework, never ending tests, never ending studies and the list continue on.
5 years, from Secondary 1 to 5.
I guess, I will miss this year the MOST!
Sitting with those around me was the best.
I really miss those random chats, random stuff and random gossips.
Yesterday was a day that was truly memorable. Everyone really didn’t bear to part each other. Everyone really wanted to stay school for even longer. Initially, everyone was way excited to graduate school but yesterday, no one wanted to graduate.
Waking up to school, thinking that graduation is today wasn’t a good feeling. It’s like a habit for 5 years and now, it will be stop. I still remember how I hated waking up early in the morning when I slept late at night either on the computer or studying or completing a project/homework. I also remembered how I love to laze on my bed for another 5 minutes, how I woke up late and had to rush everything to be in school on time. The usual routine has become a norm for me. Waking up at 5.50am, heading to washup and shower, dressed up, tie my hair, make a cup of milo, use facebook using my itouch while drinking, leaving my house at 6.23am sharp and walk to the bus stop.
Being at the bus stop was something I hated too. Reason was because I only have 1 bus to school and that’s the 2nd earliest bus. I hated having to miss my bus or it coming late. Having to remember the usual few in the bus having the same thought as me about school. HAHA.
The trip to school was neither a long nor short one. Passing by the mundane environment, the usual stops and dropping off at the same stop was a different feeling for me. I took the chance to remember every unique part throughout the whole journey as each place had memories. The Queenstown Mrt stop which I dread a lot because of the large amount of students boarding the buses making it really crowded, the long traffic stop when we had to turn right and another traffic stop to reach femy’s house. The Queens market stop where most of the Hwa Chong and Nanyang Girls alight. And finally our school bus stop. The same path I had been walking for the past 5 years.
The same walkway I walked to get to our class regardless of what floor it was. Making my way to class this year, having to walk past the garden where our classmates spend time sitting there to talk or even to read. Entering class knowing that that would be the last day where our teachers would be teaching us as a whole. It has always been a routine to put down your bag and either complete homework that was due on that day or make our way to our friend’s seat and talk to them. That was what I did yesterday. Talking to the usual few friends like always. People started joining in and that was the fun. Normally in class, we do our work, start talking or just stone and listen to our music that is playing in our earpiece. I guess everyone made that an exception yesterday.
The usual music started playing at 7.10am. If you all want to know something interesting, our class always leaves only when the music is ¾ through the song. That’s why there is always this empty space when most of the school is already gathered.
The devotion made today which I did listen but don’t remember would be the thing I missed. Reason is because they actually do make sense. Everyone sang the national anthem and say the pledge today because it is our last one. It was really fun. The last time, our class would be called to return back to class.
The class did not leave for our separate way only till Chinese teacher came in. That means that was also my last free period. Spend it talking with Vithya and Samrdhi in the library. While Vithya was studying and Sam and me doing our gifts, there was this group of Secondary 1 which kept looking at us. I felt accomplished in doing what I wanted all along. HAHA. Social Studies marked the end of proper lessons. Mr Ang went through some questions from last year o level paper. OH SHOOT. Speaking of which, I forgot to ask him something! DRATS!! Never mind then.
Recess was the same. Our whole group got together and ate our last recess together. Went back together as a group and had lots of fun regardless the fact that our juniors were having their examinations. You can’t deny the fact that it was our last day together as a whole, obviously there would be noise.
Received my report book with the L1R4 of 17 and L1R5 of 24, it is still bad but as compared to mid years, I IMPROVED although I had a few subjects that dropped in marks. Got back CCA certificate and read through my SGC which Ms Ng wrote. So she had to leave early because she needed to get ready for the graduation service that was brought forward. So, our class spends that time taking photos, having fun and made noises till teachers had to come in and remind us to keep quite. Well, we still made noise after that because we had our classroom door closed.
Our class as expected was the last one to reach the chapel for service. HAHA. While talking picture, we got scolded by Ms Siti for not listening to her. It was quite ridiculous because our group wasn’t the one that made those noises. Try putting 9 classes together and imagine the noise level. Seriously what is wrong with the noise level?
Graduation was not that interesting because the singing our cancelled for what ever reason. Everything came to a close at 12plus? Photos of our school life and notes from our beloved teachers were projected on the screen. Mr Anthony’s note came not by a surprise but everyone was cheering when his note was shown on the screen. It showed how much we all miss him.
We had to go to the canteen for our tea service. Thank god we were not there when the other class were popping their sparking wine (can’t be considered that because there wasn’t alcohol in there), HAHA. They got reprimanded by Mrs Tay and Mrs Koh because they didn’t bear in mind about the cleaning part. During that time, our class was at the freaking hot parade ground taking class photos and jump shots with Ms Ng.
We had our sparking wine pop at the back of the canteen where there is a mini-carpark. Ms Ng had both of the sparking wine pop and there was a few ‘accidents’. Everyone was convincing Ms Ng to drink the wine. When she was drinking it, Cheryl went to push the bottle so it spilled onto her face and she was partially choking. HAHA. When she was trying to pop the second bottle, Farvin poured the first bottle on her. HAHA. She wanted revenge and asked everyone to stay put. We ran and she chased after us. It was really fun! Went back to the canteen to eat but apparently, all the good food was GONE!? Apparently I think I only ate like 1 chicken wing and 2 mini-cheese cakes! HAHA. Then we had non-stop photo takings with our teachers! (((: Love all my teachers! I’m so going to miss MDM YEO the most. I had the most fun in her lessons!

5 YEARS IS REALLY LONG!!
Went back to class and continued on the photo-taking but that was when everyone started to break down. Having to see everyone slowly leaving the classroom made everyone upset. I cried too and I dared to own up. Sat the seat and started looking around made me break down. Every corner in the classroom had memories. Every single corner, every single seat. Knowing the fact that I would be back next week, I still cried because it would not longer be the same feeling anymore. Quite a few cried because of that. Really missed it now.
Left at 2plus to get ready for outing after that.
Met up with my groupies at Plaza Singapura. Actually I had to go this fashion first, since Anh didn’t like what she brought to change. Then met up with the rest and bumped into my group of guy friends. HAHA. Caught Fame and it was quite draggy somehow. Although the storyline is those typical storyline, it was quite motivated.
It isn’t about fame but your dreams. ((:
After that, we headed back to Plaza Singapura thinking that Dakky would take about 30 minutes to reach. We had to cotton on which would make someone turn on! HAHA. *Inside Joke*. Had a makeover for Stephaine! HAHAHA. Bought sunglasses with YVONNE! HAHAHA. OH. And we were like really late! Dakky got there and we were still in TOWN! HAHA. After makeover, we left and headed to Holland Village.
Swensens was really NOISY but we were noisy too. HAHA. Had lots of fun over there, talking about everything under the sun, and took non-stop pictures. Lots of things happened there but I don’t want to elaborate out. We wanted to go to Starbucks but dropped the idea since we were quite tired. HAHA.
The day ended with lots of fun, tears, sadness and a new beginning.
O levels is around the corner in 2 more weeks.
EVERYONE LET US COMPLETE THIS FINAL RACE! ((:
LOTS OF LOVES,
X.
